Item boosters

[Akababa]

Usually when pushing a crafting discipline I use an item booster, but the guide doesn't account for that so I end up with some extra mats at the end. It would be great if the guide had an option for that to reduce the overall cost.

Crits can’t be planned around. Until you can get 100% crit chance for crafting, you can’t say when or what items are going to crit and thus how much experience you will get and what items are unnecessary.

Isn't it technically possible to have 100% when you use a crafting booster (the one you get from achi's) and an item booster?

Can you link the specific items from the wiki? I know there was a legacy item, from years ago, that stacked with crafting booster. But I am unaware of any currently available items.

It's 2 different buffs on the buff bar, but I would need to test them on a new character.

They should stack based on historical data. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crafting#Crafting_experience_modifiers

How common is the achievement chest? Last time I was looking in to this the Crafting Booster was a legacy item you couldn't get more of.

It's a one in ten chance to get one at the following AP : 500-1500-3500-4500-5500-6500-8500-9500-10500-11500-13500-etc

Sorry to Necro this issue 2 times. But apparently, it is a lot more common to get the buff since it's also available from:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enchanted_Reward_Boost

Which you can exchange for some of the old (but more commonly provided) boosters.

I'll be doing some testing later this week if it's correct or not.

Ok, the boosts stack but they don't stack to 100% , since I was still getting non crits. So it's likely 75% with the 2 boosters on and if the guild buff and mastery stack the same way, it's still only 83%. Since I was still getting non crits with those on too.

Thank you for testing that. Unfortunate that it doesn't go up to 100% :/
